Thanks for the reply! "you can display it somehow, maybe by setting a tooltip somewhere" - Getting the text isn't the problem, getting it to display is! :)
I want the tooltip to display whenever someone mouses over the cell in the custom ItemRenderer's column (just like it works when I don't specify a custom ItemRenderer). Any idea how to accomplish this? Thanks!
